£758m for one year?

What was the point in building the Millenium Dome when it was only planned to be open for a year. i didn't realise that it was only planned that it would remain open for a year - how deeply stupid was this idea? Wasting not only Lottery money (ah but i guess it's better than giving it to the Illegal immigrants) but also the taxpayers money who had to put 30m extra into it to keep it open for the whole year when it ran into finiancial problems early in the year.

This was a big mistake by the Tory party who agreed that it would be built but also Tony Blair is a fool for not scrapping the plans in 1997. We were only blaming you for keeping it.

Anyway this building will be reopening (oh my god the trouble starts again) in 2007 and they are going to rename it THE 02 - wow it'l make us think that it is a whole new building - Millenium what? It's going to a music arena, which i guess is a good way of solving the problems of it just standing there derelict but if this country screws up with it again - i swear i'm going to lose all hope in England.
